In our local columns yesterday we mentioned the case of a young woman named Elizabeth Coleman, whose death was reported as having occured on Thursday last in Lower Collins-street, It has for some .days past been rumoured that the girl was really in a state of trance, and feeling there might possibly be some truth in the rumor, our reporter yestercould do .something better. -The young gentleman who presented this letter!at once intimated that a loan of £10 would be acceptable. He received it. The day was Saturday ; on the Monday following he called fagam for Ta? further I6an—the first £10 was gone. He was naturally denied, and the next intelligence of the young hopeful our settler received was an order for the payment of a considerable debt. Such, prodigals are not suited to the Colony. It would be better to kill the fatted calf on their account, without j any intervening absence.
